This British Standard was

published under the authority

of the Standards Policy and

Following publication of the EN, there is a period of 2 years allowed for the national calibration period during which the national annex is issued, followed by a three year coexistence period During the coexistence period Member States will be encouraged to adapt their national provisions to withdraw conflicting national rules before the end of the coexistent period The Commission in consultation with Member States is expected

to agree the end of the coexistence period for each package of Eurocodes.

At the end of this co-existence period, any national standards will be withdrawn In this case, there are no corresponding national standards

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/525, Building and civil engineering structures, to Subcommittee B/525/2, Structural use of concrete, which has the responsibility to:

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

Where a normative part of this EN allows for a choice to be made at the national level, the range and possible choice will be given in the normative text, and a note will qualify

it as a Nationally Determined Parameter (NDP) NDPs can be a specific value for a factor, a specific level or class, a particular method or a particular application rule if several are proposed in the EN.

To enable EN 1992-1-2 to be used in the UK, the NDPs will be published in a National Annex, which will be made available by BSI in due course, after pubic consultation has taken place.

Foreword

This European Standard EN 1992-1-2 , “Design of concrete structures - Part 1-2 General rules -

Structural fire design", has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC250 ”Structural

Eurocodes”, the Secretariat of which is held by BSI CEN/TC250 is responsible for all Structural

Eurocodes

This European Standard shall be given the status of a National Standard, either by publication

of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2005, and conflicting National

Standards shall be withdrawn at latest by March 2010

This European standard supersedes ENV 1992-1-2: 1995

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the National Standard Organisations of

the following countries are bound to implement these European Standard: Austria, Belgium,

Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,

Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,

Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom

Background of the Eurocode programme

In 1975, the Commission of the European Community decided on an action programme in the

field of construction, based on article 95 of the Treaty The objective of the programme was the

elimination of technical obstacles to trade and the harmonisation of technical specifications

Within this action programme, the Commission took the initiative to establish a set of harmonised

technical rules for the design of construction works which, in a first stage, would serve as an

alternative to the national rules in force in the Member States and, ultimately, would replace them

For fifteen years, the Commission, with the help of a Steering Committee with Representatives

of Member States, conducted the development of the Eurocodes programme, which led to the

first generation of European codes in the 1980s.

In 1989, the Commission and the Member States of the EU and EFTA decided, on the basis of

an agreement1 between the Commission and CEN, to transfer the preparation and the

1

Agreement between the Commission of the European Communities and the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) concerning the

work on EUROCODES for the design of building and civil engineering works (BC/CEN/03/89).

5

publication of the Eurocodes to the CEN through a series of Mandates, in order to provide them

with a future status of European Standard (EN) This links de facto the Eurocodes with the

provisions of all the Council’s Directives and/or Commission’s Decisions dealing with European

standards (e.g the Council Directive 89/106/EEC on construction products - CPD - and Council

Directives 93/37/EEC, 92/50/EEC and 89/440/EEC on public works and services and equivalent

EFTA Directives initiated in pursuit of setting up the internal market)

The Structural Eurocode programme comprises the following standards generally consisting of

a number of Parts:

EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design

EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures

EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures

EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures

EN 1994 Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures

EN 1995 Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures

EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures

EN 1997 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design

EN 1998 Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance

EN 1999 Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures

Eurocode standards recognise the responsibility of regulatory authorities in each Member State

and have safeguarded their right to determine values related to regulatory safety matters at

national level where these continue to vary from State to State

Status and field of application of Eurocodes

The Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that Eurocodes serve as reference

documents for the following purposes :

– as a means to prove compliance of building and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of Council Directive 89/106/EEC, particularly Essential Requirement N°1 –

Mechanical resistance and stability – and Essential Requirement N°2 – Safety in case of fire ;

– as a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services ;

– as a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products

(ENs and ETAs)

The Eurocodes, as far as they concern the construction works themselves, have a direct

relationship with the Interpretative Documents2 referred to in Article 12 of the CPD, although

they are of a different nature from harmonised product standards3 Therefore, technical aspects

arising from the Eurocodes work need to be adequately considered by CEN Technical

2

According to Art 3.3 of the CPD, the essential requirements (ERs) shall be given concrete form in interpretative documents for the creation of

the necessary links between the essential requirements and the mandates for harmonised ENs and ETAGs/ETAs.

3

According to Art 12 of the CPD the interpretative documents shall :

a) give concrete form to the essential requirements by harmonising the terminology and the technical bases and indicating classes or levels for each requirement where necessary ;

b) indicate methods of correlating these classes or levels of requirement with the technical specifications, e.g methods of calculation and of proof, technical rules for project design, etc ;

c) serve as a reference for the establishment of harmonised standards and guidelines for European technical approvals

The Eurocodes, de facto, play a similar role in the field of the ER 1 and a part of ER 2.

Committees and/or EOTA Working Groups working on product standards with a view to

achieving full compatibility of these technical specifications with the Eurocodes

The Eurocode standards provide common structural design rules for everyday use for the

design of whole structures and component products of both a traditional and an innovative

nature Unusual forms of construction or design conditions are not specifically covered and

additional expert consideration will be required by the designer in such cases

National Standards implementing Eurocodes

The National Standards implementing Eurocodes will comprise the full text of the Eurocode

(including any annexes), as published by CEN, which may be preceded by a National title page

and National foreword, and may be followed by a National Annex

The National Annex may only contain information on those parameters which are left open in

the Eurocode for national choice, known as Nationally Determined Parameters, to be used for

the design of buildings and civil engineering works to be constructed in the country concerned,

i.e :

– values and/or classes where alternatives are given in the Eurocode,

– values to be used where a symbol only is given in the Eurocode,

– country specific data (geographical, climatic, etc.), e.g snow map,

– the procedure to be used where alternative procedures are given in the Eurocode,

– decisions on the application of informative annexes,

– references to non-contradictory complementary information to assist the user to apply the

Eurocode

Links between Eurocodes and products harmonised technical specifications (ENs and

ETAs)

There is a need for consistency between the harmonised technical specifications for

construction products and the technical rules for works4 Furthermore, all the information

accompanying the CE Marking of the construction products which refer to Eurocodes should

clearly mention which Nationally Determined Parameters have been taken into account

Additional information specific to EN 1992-1-2

EN 1992- 1-2 describes the Principles, requirements and rules for the structural design of

buildings exposed to fire, including the following aspects

Safety requirements

EN 1992-1-2 is intended for clients (e.g for the formulation of their specific requirements),

designers, contractors and relevant authorities

The general objectives of fire protection are to limit risks with respect to the individual and

society, neighbouring property, and where required, environment or directly exposed property,

in the case of fire

4

see Art.3.3 and Art.12 of the CPD, as well as clauses 4.2, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 5.2 of ID 1

7

Construction Products Directive 89/106/EEC gives the following essential requirement for the

limitation of fire risks:

"The construction works must be designed and build in such a way, that in the event of an

outbreak of fire

- the load bearing resistance of the construction can be assumed for a specified period of

time

- the generation and spread of fire and smoke within the works are limited

- the spread of fire to neighbouring construction works is limited

- the occupants can leave the works or can be rescued by other means

- the safety of rescue teams is taken into consideration"

According to the Interpretative Document N° 2 "Safety in case of fire" the essential requirement

may be observed by following various possibilities for fire safety strategies prevailing in the

Member states like conventional fire scenarios (nominal fires) or “natural” (parametric) fire

scenarios, including passive and/or active fire protection measures

The fire parts of Structural Eurocodes deal with specific aspects of passive fire protection in

terms of designing structures and parts thereof for adequate load bearing resistance and for

limiting fire spread as relevant

Required functions and levels of performance can be specified either in terms of nominal

(standard) fire resistance rating, generally given in national fire regulations or by referring to fire

safety engineering for assessing passive and active measures, see EN 1991-1-2

Supplementary requirements concerning, for example:

- the possible installation and maintenance of sprinkler systems,

- conditions on occupancy of building or fire compartment,

- the use of approved insulation and coating materials, including their maintenance,

are not given in this document, because they are subject to specification by the competent

authority

Numerical values for partial factors and other reliability elements are given as recommended

values that provide an acceptable level of reliability They have been selected assuming that an

appropriate level of workmanship and of quality management applies

Design procedures

A full analytical procedure for structural fire design would take into account the behaviour of the

structural system at elevated temperatures, the potential heat exposure and the beneficial

effects of active and passive fire protection systems, together with the uncertainties associated

with these three features and the importance of the structure (consequences of failure)

At the present time it is possible to undertake a procedure for determining adequate

performance which incorporates some, if not all, of these parameters and to demonstrate that

the structure, or its components, will give adequate performance in a real building fire However,

where the procedure is based on a nominal (standard) fire the classification system, which call

for specific periods of fire resistance, takes into account (though not explicitly), the features and

uncertainties described above

Application of design procedures is illustrated in Figure 0.1 The prescriptive approach and the

performance-based approach are identified The prescriptive approach uses nominal fires to

generate thermal actions The performance-based approach, using fire safety engineering,

refers to thermal actions based on physical and chemical parameters Additional information for

alternative methods in this standard is given in Table 0.1

For design according to this part, EN 1991-1-2 is required for the determination of thermal and

mechanical actions to the structure

Design aids

Where simple calculation models are not available, the Eurocode fire parts give design

solutions in terms of tabulated data (based on tests or advanced calculation models), which

may be used within the specified limits of validity

It is expected, that design aids based on the calculation models given in EN 1992-1-2, will be

prepared by interested external organisations

The main text of EN 1992-1-2, together with informative Annexes A, B, C, D and E, includes

most of the principal concepts and rules necessary for structural fire design of concrete

structures

National Annex for EN 1992-1-2

This standard gives alternative procedures, values and recommendations for classes with notes

indicating where national choices may have to be made Therefore the National Standard

implementing EN 1992-1-2 should have a National Annex containing the Eurocode all Nationally

Determined Parameters to be used for the design of buildings, and where required and

applicable, for civil engineering works to be constructed in the relevant country

SECTION 2 BASIS OF DESIGN

2.1 Requirements

2.1.1 General

(1)P Where mechanical resistance in the case of fire is required, concrete structures shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they maintain their load bearing function during the relevant fire exposure

(2)P Where compartmentation is required, the elements forming the boundaries of the fire

compartment, including joints, shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they maintain their separating function during the relevant fire exposure This shall ensure, where relevant, that:

- integrity failure does not occur, see EN 1991-1-2

- insulation failure does not occur, see EN 1991-1-2

- thermal radiation from the unexposed side is limited

Note 1: See EN 1991-1-2 for the definitions

Note 2: For concrete structures considered in this Part 1-2 thermal radiation criteria are not relevant

(3)P Deformation criteria shall be applied where the means of protection, or the design criteria for separating elements, require consideration of the deformation of the load bearing structure

(4) Consideration of the deformation of the load bearing structure is not necessary in the

following cases, as relevant:

- the efficiency of the means of protection has been evaluated according to 4.7,

- the separating elements have to fulfil requirements according to nominal fire exposure

2.1.2 Nominal fire exposure

(1)P For the standard fire exposure, members shall comply with criteria R, E and I as follows:

- separating only: integrity (criterion E) and, when requested, insulation (criterion I)

- load bearing only: mechanical resistance (criterion R)

- separating and load bearing: criteria R, E and, when requested I

(2) Criterion “R” is assumed to be satisfied where the load bearing function is maintained

during the required time of fire exposure

(3) Criterion “I” may be assumed to be satisfied where the average temperature rise over the whole of the non-exposed surface is limited to 140 K, and the maximum temperature rise at any point of that surface does not exceed 180 K

(4) With the external fire exposure curve the same criteria (R, E, I) should apply, however the

reference to this specific curve should be identified by the letters "ef" (see EN 1991-1-2)

(5) With the hydrocarbon fire exposure curve the same criteria (R, E, I) should apply, however the reference to this specific curve should be identified by the letters "HC", see EN 1991-1-2

(6) Where a vertical separating element with or without load-bearing function has to comply with impact resistance requirement (criterion M), the element should resist a horizontal

concentrated load as specified in EN 1363 Part 2

2.1.3 Parametric fire exposure

(1) The load-bearing function should be maintained during the complete endurance of the fire including the decay phase, or a specified period of time

(2) For the verification of the separating function the following applies, assuming that the

normal temperature is 20°C:

- the average temperature rise of the unexposed side of the construction should be limited to

140 K and the maximum temperature rise of the unexposed side should not exceed 180 K during the heating phase until the maximum gas temperature in the fire compartment is reached;

- the average temperature rise of the unexposed side of the construction should be limited to

∆θ1 and the maximum temperature rise of the unexposed side should not exceed ∆θ2 during the decay phase

Note: The values of ∆θ 1 and ∆θ 2 for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex The recommended values are ∆θ 1 = 200 K and ∆θ 2 = 240 K

2.2 Actions

(1)P The thermal and mechanical actions shall be taken from EN 1991-1-2

2.3 Design values of material properties

(1)P Design values of mechanical (strength and deformation) material properties Xd,fi are defined

as follows:

where:

Xk is the characteristic value of a strength or deformation property (generally f k or E k ) for

normal temperature design to EN 1992-1-1;

kθ is the reduction factor for a strength or deformation property (Xk,θ /Xk), dependent on the material temperature, see 3.2.;

γM,fi is the partial safety factor for the relevant material property, for the fire situation

(2)P Design values of thermal material properties Xd,fi are defined as follows:

- if an increase of the property is favourable for safety:

- if an increase of the property is unfavourable for safety:

where:

Xk,θ is the value of a material property in fire design, generally dependent on the material temperature, see section 3;

γM,fi is the partial safety factor for the relevant material property, for the fire situation

Note 1: The value of γ M,fi for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex The recommended value is: For thermal properties of concrete and reinforcing and prestressing steel: γ M,fi = 1,0

For mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing and prestressing steel: γ M,fi = 1,0

Note 2: If the recommended values are modified, the tabulated data may require modification

Ed,fi is the design effect of actions for the fire situation, determined in accordance with

EN 1991-1-2, including effects of thermal expansions and deformations

Rd,t,fi is the corresponding design resistance in the fire situation

(3) The structural analysis for the fire situation should be carried out according to Section 5 of

EN 1990

Note: For verifying standard fire resistance requirements, a member analysis is sufficient

(4) Where application rules given in this Part 1-2 are valid only for the standard temperature-time curve, this is identified in the relevant clauses

(5) Tabulated data given in section 5 are based on the standard temperature-time curve

(6)P As an alternative to design by calculation, fire design may be based on the results of fire tests, or on fire tests in combination with calculations, see EN 1990, Section 5

ηfi is the reduction factor for the design load level for the fire situation

(3) The reduction factor ηfi for load combination (6.10) in EN 1990 should be taken as:

3.2.1 General

(1)P Numerical values on strength and deformation properties given in this section are based

on steady state as well as transient state tests and sometimes a combination of both As creep effects are not explicitly considered, the material models in this Eurocode are applicable for heating rates between 2 and 50 K/min For heating rates outside the above range, the reliability

cp.peak = 1470 J/kg K for moisture content of 1,5 % of concrete weight

cp.peak = 2020 J/kg K for moisture content of 3,0 % of concrete weight

And linear relationship between (115°C, cp.peak ) and (200°C, 1000 J/kg K) For other moisture contents a linear interpolation is acceptable The peaks of specific heat are illustrated in Figure 3.6a

SECTION 4 DESIGN PROCEDURES

4.1 General

(1)P The following design methods are permitted in order to satisfy 2.4.1 (2)P:

- detailing according to recognised design solutions (tabulated data or testing), see Section 5

- simplified calculation methods for specific types of members, see 4.2

- advanced calculation methods for simulating the behaviour of structural members, parts of the structure or the entire structure, see 4.3

Note 1: When calculation methods are used, reference is made to 4.6 for integrity function (E)

Note 2: For insulation function (I) the ambient temperature is normally assumed to be 20°C

Note 3: The decision on the use of advanced calculation methods in a country may be found in its National

Annex

(2)P Spalling shall be avoided by appropriate measures or the influence of spalling on

performance requirements (R and/or EI) shall be taken into account, see 4.5

(3) Sudden failure caused by excessive steel elongation from heating for prestressed members with unbonded tendons should be avoided

4.2 Simplified calculation method

4.2.1 General

(1) Simplified cross-section calculation methods may be used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of a heated cross section and to compare the capacity with the relevant

load-combination of actions, see 2.4.2

Note1: Informative Annex B provides two alternative methods, B.1 “500°C isotherm method” and B.2 “Zone

method” for calculating the resistance to bending moments and axial forces Second order effects may be included with both models The two methods are applicable to structures subjected to a standard fire

exposure Method B.1 may be used in conjunction with both standard and parametric fires Method B.2 is recommended for use with small sections and slender columns but is only valid for standard fires

Note 2: Informative Annex C provides a zone method for analysing column sections with significant second

order effects

(2) For shear, torsion and anchorage see 4.4

Note: Informative Annex D provides a simplified calculation method for shear, torsion and anchorage

(3) Simplified methods for the design of beams and slabs where the loading is predominantly uniformly distributed and where the design at normal temperature is based on linear analysis may be used

Note: Informative Annex E provides a simplified calculation method for the design of beams and slabs

4.2.2 Temperature profiles

(1) Temperatures in a concrete structure exposed to a fire may be determined from tests or by calculation

Note: The temperature profiles given in Annex A may be used to determine the temperatures in

cross-sections with siliceous aggregate exposed to a standard fire up to the time of maximum gas temperature The

4.2.3 Reduced cross-section

(1) Simplified methods using a reduced cross-section may be used

Note: Informative Annex B provides two methods using a reduced cross section

The method described in Annex B.1 is based on the hypothesis that concrete at a temperature more than 500

°C is neglected in the calculation of load-bearing capacity, while concrete at a temperature below 500 °C is assumed to retain its full strength This method is applicable to a reinforced and prestressed concrete section with respect to axial load, bending moment and their combinations

The method described in Annex B.2 is based on the principle that the fire damaged cross-section is reduced by ignoring a damaged zone at the fire-exposed surfaces The calculation should follow a specific procedure The method is applicable to a reinforced and prestressed concrete section with respect to axial load, bending moment and their combinations

4.2.4 Strength reduction

4.2.4.1 General

(1) Values for the reduction of the characteristic compressive strength of concrete, and of the characteristic strength of reinforcing and prestressing steels are given in this section They may

be used with the simplified cross-section calculation methods described in 4.2.3

(2) The values for strength reduction given in 4.2.4.2 and 4.2.4.3 below should only be applied for heating rates similar to those appearing under standard fire exposure until the time of the maximum gas temperature

(3) Alternative formulations of material laws may be applied, provided the solutions are within the range of experimental evidence

temperature θ may be used as given in Table 3.1 Column 2 for siliceous aggregates and

Column 5 for calcareous aggregates (see Figure 4.1)

4.2.4.3 Steel

(1) For tension reinforcement the reduction of the characteristic strength of reinforcing steel as a function of the temperature θ is given in Table 3.2a For tension reinforcement in beams and slabs where εs,fi ≥ 2%, the strength reduction for Class N reinforcement may be used as given in Table 3.2a, Column 2 for hot rolled and Column 3 for cold worked reinforcing steel (see Figure 4.2a, curve 1 and 2) The strength reduction for Class X reinforcement may be used as given in Table 3.2b for hot rolled and cold worked reinforcing steel (see Figure 4.2b, curve 1)

For compression reinforcement in columns and compressive zones of beams and slabs the strength reduction at 0,2% proof strain for Class N reinforcement should be used as given below This strength reduction also applies for tension reinforcement where εs,fi < 2% when using

simplified cross-section calculation methods (see Figure 4.2a, curve 3):

4.3.1 General

(1)P Advanced calculation methods shall provide a realistic analysis of structures exposed to fire They shall be based on fundamental physical behaviour leading to a reliable approximation of the expected behaviour of the relevant structural component under fire conditions

(2)P Any potential failure mode not covered by the advanced calculation method shall be

excluded by appropriate means (e.g insufficient rotational capacity , spalling, local buckling of compressed reinforcement, shear and bond failure, damage to anchorage devices)

(3) Advanced calculation methods should include calculation models for the determination of:

- the development and distribution of the temperature within structural members (thermal response model);

- the mechanical behaviour of the structure or of any part of it (mechanical response model) (4) Advanced calculation methods may be used in association with any heating curve provided that the material properties are known for the relevant temperature range and the relevant rate

(2)P The thermal response model shall include the consideration of:

a) the relevant thermal actions specified in EN 1991-1-2;

b) the temperature dependent thermal properties of the materials

(3) The influence of moisture content and of migration of the moisture within concrete or

protective layers if any, may conservatively be neglected

(4) The temperature profile in a reinforced concrete element may be assessed omitting the

presence of reinforcement

(5) The effects of non-uniform thermal exposure and of heat transfer to adjacent building

components may be included where appropriate

4.3.3 Mechanical response

(1)P Advanced calculation methods for mechanical response shall be based on the

acknowledged principles and assumptions of the theory of structural mechanics, taking into

account the changes of mechanical properties with temperature

(2)P The effects of thermally induced strains and stresses both due to temperature rise and due

to temperature differentials, shall be considered

(3)P The deformations at ultimate limit state implied by the calculation methods shall be limited

as necessary to ensure that compatibility is maintained between all parts of the structure

(4)P Where relevant, the mechanical response of the model shall also take account of

geometrical non-linear effects

(5) The total strain ε may be assumed to be:

ε = εth + εσ + εcreep + εtr (4.15) where

εth is the thermal strain,

εσ is the instantaneous stress-dependent strain

εcreep is the creep strain and

εtr is the transient state strain

(6) The load bearing capacity of individual members, sub-assemblies or entire structures

exposed to fire may be assessed by plastic methods of analysis (see EN 1992-1-1, Section 5) (7) The plastic rotation capacity of reinforced concrete sections should be estimated taking

account of the increased ultimate strains εcu and εsu in hot condition εcu will also be affected by the confinement reinforcement provided

(8) The compressive zone of a section, especially if directly exposed to fire (e.g hogging in

continuous beams), should be checked and detailed with particular regard to spalling or falling-off

of concrete cover

(9) In the analysis of individual members or sub-assemblies the boundary conditions should be checked and detailed in order to avoid failure due to the loss of adequate support for the

members

4.3.4 Validation of advance calculation methods

(1)P A verification of the accuracy of the calculation models shall be made on the basis of

relevant test results

(2) Calculation results may refer to temperatures, deformations and fire resistance times

(3)P The critical parameters shall be checked to ensure that the model complies with sound engineering principles, by means of a sensitivity analysis

(4) Critical parameters may refer, for example, to the buckling length, the size of the elements and the load level

4.4 Shear, torsion and anchorage

(1) When minimum dimensions given in Tabulated data are followed, further checks for shear, torsion and anchorage are not required

(2) Calculation methods for shear, torsion and anchorage may be used if they are supported by test information

Note: Informative Annex D provides a simplified calculations methods for shear , torsion and anchorage

4.5 Spalling

4.5.1 Explosive spalling

(1)P Explosive spalling shall be avoided, or its influence on performance requirements (R and/or EI) shall be taken into account

(2) Explosive spalling is unlikely to occur when the moisture content of the concrete is less than

k % by weight Above k % a more accurate assessment of moisture content, type of aggregate,

permeability of concrete and heating rate should be considered

Note: The value of k for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex The recommended value is 3

(3) It may be assumed that where members are designed to exposure class X0 and XC1 (see

EN 1992-1-1), the moisture content of that member is lessthan k% by weight, where 2,5 ≤ k ≤

3,0

(4) When using tabulated data no further check is required for normal weight concrete 4.5.2 (2)

is applicable when the axis distance, a, is 70 mm or more

(5) For beams, slabs and tensile members, if the moisture content of the concrete is more than

k% by weight the influence of explosive spalling on load-bearing function R may be assessed by

assuming local loss of cover to one reinforcing bar or bundle of bars in the cross section and then

checking the reduced load-bearing capacity of the section For this verification the temperature of

the other reinforcing bars may be assumed to be that in an unspalled section This verification is not required for any structural member for which the correct behaviour with relation to explosive spalling has been checked experimentally or for which complementary protection is applied and verified by testing

Note: Where the number of bars is large enough, it may be assumed that an acceptable redistribution of stress

is possible without loss of the stability (R) This includes:

- solid slabs with evenly distributed bars,

4.5.2 Falling off of concrete

(1)P Falling off of concrete in the latter stage of fire exposure shall be avoided, or taken into account when considering the performance requirements (R and/or EI)

(2) Where the axis distance to the reinforcement is 70 mm or more and tests have not been carried out to show that falling-off does not occur, then surface reinforcement should be provided The surface reinforcement mesh should have a spacing not greater than 100 mm, and a diameter not less than 4 mm

(4) With reference to the I-criterion, the width of gaps in joints should not exceed the limit of 20

mm and they should not be deeper than half the minimum thickness d (see 4.2) of the actual

separating component, see Figure 4.4

Note: Bars in the corner zones close to the

gap need not be considered as corner bars with reference to tabulated data

Figure 4.4: Dimensions of gap at joints

For gaps with larger depth and, if necessary, with the addition of a sealing product, the fire

resistanceshould be documented on the basis of an appropriate test procedure

4.7 Protective layers

(1) Required fire resistance may also be obtained by the application of protective layers

(2) The properties and performance of the material for protective layers should be assessed using appropriate test procedure

5 Tabulated data

5.1 Scope

(1) This section gives recognised design solutions for the standard fire exposure up to 240

minutes (see 4.1) The rules refer to member analysis according to 2.4.2

Note: The tables have been developed on an empirical basis confirmed by experience and theoretical

evaluation of tests The data is derived from approximate conservative assumptions for the more common structural elements and is valid for the whole range of thermal conductivity in 3.3 More specific tabulated data can be found in the product standards for some particular types of concrete products or developed, on the basis

of the calculation method in accordance with 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4

(2) The values given in the tables apply to normal weight concrete (2000 to 2600 kg/m3, see EN 206-1) made with siliceous aggregates

If calcareous aggregates or lightweight aggregates are used in beams or slabs the minimum dimension of the cross-section may be reduced by 10%

(3) When using tabulated data no further checks are required concerning shear and torsion capacity and anchorage details (see 4.4)

(4) When using tabulated data no further checks are required concerning spalling, except for surface reinforcement (see 4.5.1 (4))

5.2 General design rules

(1) Requirements for separating function (Criterion E and I (see 2.1.2)) may be considered

satisfied where the minimum thickness of walls or slabs is in accordance with Table 5.3 For joints reference should be made to 4.6

(2) For load bearing function (Criterion R), the minimum requirements concerning section sizes and axis distance of steel in the tables follows from:

where:

Ed,fi is the design effect of actions in the fire situation

Rd,fi is the design load-bearing capacity (resistance) in the fire situation

(3) Tabulated data in this section are based on a reference load level ηfi = 0,7, unless otherwise stated in the relevant clauses

Note: Where the partial safety factors specified in the National Annexes of EN 1990 deviate from those indicated

in 2.4.2, the above value ηfi= 0,7 may not be valid In such circumstances the value of ηfi for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex

(4) In order to ensure the necessary axis distance in tensile zones of simply supported beams and slabs, Tables 5.5, 5.6 and 5.8, Column 3 (one way), are based on a critical steel temperature

of θcr = 500°C This assumption corresponds approximately to Ed,fi = 0,7Ed and γs = 1,15 (stress level σs,fi/fyk = 0,60, see Expression (5.2)) where Ed denotes the design effect of actions

according to EN 1992-1-1
